In-Game Description

A strange gift from the messengers, inhabitants of
the dream who revere the brave hunters.

Use to envelop oneself in a black nightmarish mist,
then transform into a messenger. The illusion is a parlor
trick, and any large movement will break the spell.

To preserve the guise, proceed very slowly.

Effects

Using it requires only a single bullet with an arcane stat of 10. It does no damage, doesn't heal you, and has no scaling. All it does is turn you into a message! Well, it makes you look like one... as long as you don't make any large movements. If you try to run, roll, attack, or use an item, the effect will break. This spell is entirely for fooling other players online. Whether you are an invader setting up an ambush or a normal hunter hiding from the Vilebloods, this is the best camouflage you'll find in this nightmare.

The best way to use this message is to find an environmental effect, such as the clouds of smoke in Old Yharnam, and hide there. Behind tall grass, trees, and other objects are other potential hiding spots. Blind corners near stairs also work. The main point is to never rely solely on the disguise; use its low height to keep out of sight! Then again, sometimes there's refuge in audacity... hide yourself in the most visible location and pray! Be warned that alert players will not fall for this trick, but it can be useful when you are on the run. You never know when the other player's concentration might lapse and allow you a chance to disguise yourself.

Availability

Treasure in (Main Story): Nightmare Frontier, at the end of Swampy Gorge from Central Swamp Bank guarded by Winter Lantern

Notes
